Flight
Laguardia
NYC has tons of airports, but Laguardia is definitely the easiest for domestic flights and is a reasonable car ride from all hotel and rental suggestions. JFK and Newark are also options, but farther away.
Travel Note
It's New York!
We've blocked rooms at two hotels that we think will fit the needs of a lot of folks, but if that's not what you are looking for, no stress! There are hotels everywhere, cute air bnbs, and even some hostels. We empower you to find the accommodations that will make you the happiest.
Hotel
Hyatt Place New York/Yonkers
For anyone driving to NY, looking for a comfortable option outside the city, or wanting maximal convenience surrounding the Ceremony and Reception, this is the place for you! This will likely be one of the more affordable hotels in the area. To reserve a room with a discounted rate, call and tell them you are with the Ode/Judd wedding. 10 minute drive to Ceremony, 5 minutes from Reception. Free parking. Breakfast included. Dog friendly (up to 50 lbs).
Hotel
The Kitano Hotel New York
A great option for those looking to stay in New York City, right in Midtown, Manhattan. A 4 minute walk to Grand Central Station, this is an awesome spot for those taking the train in, flying in sans rental car, or anyone who wants to have a weekend in NYC! This is where we will be staying! To reserve a room with a discounted rate, call and tell them you are with the Ode/Judd wedding. A note on getting to the Ceremony from Midtown-- You have two primary options: Train: Take the Hudson line from Grand Central Station to Riverdale (30 mins) and then walk (10 mins). The walk is gently uphill, so plan footwear accordingly. Car: Lyfts, Ubers, and Taxis. Friday evening will likely be peak pricing and traffic exiting the city, so we highly recommend the train.
